I've been trying to work this out all day and I'm almost there, but I'm not sure why my sprite animation is playing only after I release the mouse button...
What should happen is that the ship should bank left if you click to the left of the ship and it should bank right when you click anywhere to the right of the ship. It will roll back to 0 degrees when the mouse button is released, but I've REM'd out that procedure to try to help determine the problem area

The sprite moves left and right, no problem, but the frames don't advance until the mouse button is released.

My frames in the following code are a bit off still, but my major issue is that the sprite's animation not playing until the mouse is released.

All thoughts on how to do this or do it better are quite welcome.

A side question related to this project is: the sprite sheet is larger than 1024, is the sheet being scaled down to 1024 even though I am using frames that are 256x256?

Thanks!!

You are constantly resetting call_play to 1 so the frame is being reset to the start frame too. You need to do a check for getPointerPressed when setting this so it only does it when the user first clicks. You might be better using setSpriteFrame manually and taking complete control of what the current frame is. Personally I find it much easier to keep a handle on things that way.

this.mess = abs(sin(times#))

Thanks baxslash, I was tossing checks in everywhere. I apologize for the sloppiness. I did have this working using a GetPointerPressed() check, but I want the user to be able to swipe, so their finger may not leave the screen.
I'll just have to add that in as a condition to updating the frames too.
I do think I'll need to use SetSpriteFrame() to control the animation. I'll only rely on PlaySprite() when the mouse/touch is released.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks again, baxslash!
I fixed it all up and the ship rolls left and right like a charm.

Here's the code if anyone needs to see an example of how to animate a sprite while moving it.
